It’s fall and the taste of pumpkin, nutmeg, and pecans are calling me to make something yummy to enjoy. How about the best tasting Pumpkin Bread recipe, I think, you will ever want to bake.
This is one of those recipes which seem to turn out good every single time I make it. Its so moist and fall just explodes in your mouth. The best part is the smells it sends throughout the house. I’ve made it with and without pecans or with walnuts. It’s still good.
I really love the beautiful color of this bread. Its so good warmed up a bit in the microwave with a bit of butter and a nice cup of coffee for a late night snack.
You can also make these in the smaller bread loaves and pass out for a Fall Bake Sale or to a new neighbor. I have used a small loaf pan or small foil loaf pans.
It’s just that good to pass along.
What I love the most about this recipe is you can find canned pumpkin on sale and pecans are in season during the fall and easy to find. I miss having a pecan tree grove nearby to pick my own.
